FAQs
Can I use this on a different Sony lens?
No, the ALC-SH136 is designed exclusively for the Sony FE 24-240mm f3.5-6.3 OSS (SEL24240) lens.
Does this hood cause vignetting?
No, because it is a genuine Sony accessory, it is optically calculated to avoid vignetting throughout the entire zoom range of the SEL24240.
Can I reverse the hood for storage?
Yes, like most standard Sony hoods, it can be reversed on the lens barrel to save space in your camera bag when not in use.
Is the hood made of metal or plastic?
The ALC-SH136 is constructed from high-quality, lightweight black plastic, consistent with most modern lens hood designs.
Does the hood help with lens filters?
The hood is designed to fit directly onto the lens; you can still use circular filters on the lens, but ensure they are screwed on correctly before attaching the hood.
Troubleshooting
Hood feels loose or falls off
Ensure the hood is rotated until you hear and feel the tactile click, indicating it is locked into the mounting groove.
Hood is difficult to attach
Check the mounting bayonet for small debris or sand; clean with a soft brush before attempting to reattach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the hood, align the marks on the hood with the index line on the lens barrel and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into a locked position. It is designed specifically for the Sony SEL24240 lens and is not interchangeable with other Sony lens hoods. For care, wipe the hood with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. If it becomes muddy or greasy, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap, then ensure it is completely dry before storing it in your gear bag.
